Winemaker Notes


Fauledda is crafted exclusively from the rare Arvisionadu grape, indigenous to the Goceano region of Sardegna. The vineyards are situated in Benetutti, where the unique microclimate and soil composition impart distinct characteristics to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a meticulous vinification process to preserve their aromatic profile. The resulting wine boasts a pale straw color with greenish reflections, offering delicate floral and citrus aromas. On the palate, it is fresh and harmonious, with a pleasant minerality. Serve chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F).
